PALM BEACH, Florida (LifeSiteNews) — After an extended absence from public view, former First Lady Melania Trump is reportedly set to return to the campaign trail for her husband starting with a fundraiser for homosexual “conservative” group Log Cabin Republicans at her and husband Donald’s resort home of Mar-a-Lago.

About 30 individuals attended a fundraiser in Ladue, Missouri, on Monday that First Lady Jill Biden headlined as part of the joint effort of the Biden Victory Fund, months ahead of the election. Speaking to what the St. Louis Post-Dispatch described as a “roomful of supporters” at the home of Joyce Aboussie — a Democrat operative — Biden asserted that her husband, 81-year-old President Joe Biden, “rescued” America out of the coronavirus pandemic, making the pitch as to why she believes he should be awarded another four years. “He opened the schools. He got us vaccines,” she claimed, casting another...

Donald Trump has raised $50.5 million at a Florida fundraiser for his 2024 re-election campaign - the highest amount ever raised at a single event. Saturday's $250,000-a-ticket bash was held at the Palm Beach home of Trump supporter John Paulson, and slightly exceeded the $50m fundraising total organizers predicted. The enormous amount is almost double the $26 million Joe Biden's campaign recently raised at a New York City bash which boasted the added star-power of former Democrat presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. 'It's clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation, and the money to propel President...

President Biden taunted former president Donald Trump Saturday for his evening high-dollar fundraiser — dissing the “bunch of hedge fund billionaires” who were gathering in Florida to support him. “This campaign is Scranton versus Palm Beach,” Biden said in a video posted to X. “Folks, you know Trump is down in Florida today raising money from a bunch of hedge fund billionaires who want him to cut Social Security and Medicare and their taxes,” he claimed in the 54-second clip.

Yesterday was marked by two events in greater New York City which could not have been more polar. Donald Trump attended the wake of a murdered NYC policeman in Massapequa. Joe Biden attended a far-left wing star-studded campaign fund raiser at Radio City Music Hall. The 81-year-old commander-in-chief — who is struggling with a dismal 40% approval rating just a few months ahead of the November election — is hoping to rake in a staggering $25 million, which would make the event the most successful political fundraiser in history. More than 5,000 people paid between $250 and $250,000 to attend...

Several waves of protesters disrupted President Biden’s grandiose fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall Thursday, where he kicked it with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to raise cash and enthusiasm for his 2024 re-election bid. One demonstrator, a woman blowing a whistle, holding a “war pig” sign and warning of “nuclear war with Russia,” was removed from the lavish New York City event, dubbed by the 81-year-old president as a “grassroots fundraiser.” The first interruption was quickly followed by booing and whistling and two other waves of protests related to Biden’s support for Israel’s war against Hamas. “Shame...

The neon lights could soon be bright for Joe Biden on Broadway as Hillary Clinton teams up with actor and songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda to raise money for the president in the city that never sleeps. Clinton and the Hamilton musical creator will present a 'special Broadway performance' of 'Suffs: the musical' on April 3 to raise money for the Biden Victory Fund, the president's joint fundraising committee, and the Women's Leadership Forum. Tickets to the Times Square performance cost between $500 and $5,000 a person, according to the event invite. This is just the latest fundraising effort by the failed...

President Joe Biden sees a host of malign influences challenging his 2024 reelection efforts, using a private fundraiser in San Francisco on Wednesday night to take swipes at Russian President Vladimir Putin, former President Donald Trump, and MAGA Republicans while ostensibly addressing “climate change.” AP reports Biden called Putin a “crazy SOB” and took aim at Trump’s comments citing the Russian opposition leader who died last week in an Arctic prison. Biden was talking about climate issues when he said, “We have a crazy SOB like Putin and others, and we always have to worry about nuclear conflict, but the...

According to an invitation shared exclusively with The Hill, Gabbard is set to be the keynote speaker at the 917 Society’s annual fundraiser on March 7 for a night in Palm Beach “celebrating the Constitution.” The event comes after Trump, the current front-runner for the Republican nomination, acknowledged Gabbard is under consideration to be his vice presidential choice among several other contenders. Dinner for the event costs $1,250, according to the invite.

What is the best collective noun to use in describing a gathering of former and current Democrat presidents? The world might be about to find out because a first-of-its-kind fundraiser is being mooted to benefit President Joe Biden, with the 2024 presidential race aspirant destined to share a stage with predecessors Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. At least, that is the plan, an NBC News report details.

After a record-breaking year for Taylor Swift, the pop star attended a Gaza fundraiser with celebrity friend Selena Gomez in December. The event was hosted by Ramy Youssef on his tour “Ramy Youssef: More Feelings.” While the comedian traveled to several major cities such as Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia during the standup tour, Swift’s and Gomez’s presence at his Brooklyn, N.Y., show stirred public controversy as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East. Partway through his tour, Youssef announced on Instagram that “100 percent of the proceeds for the remainder of the ramy youssef: more feelings standup tour will...

IRANA, Albania (AP) — Albania's main opposition Democratic Party made a criminal complaint against Prime Minister Edi Rama Monday, accusing him of illegally funneling $80,000 to U.S. President Barack Obama's re-election campaign in 2012 in return for a photograph of the two men together. The Democrats brought the case to the Prosecutor General's office, saying Rama — who was then the opposition leader — paid the money in violation of U.S. and Albanian laws to gain access to a campaign event in San Francisco in October 2012. Last week Bilal Shehu, 48, a U.S. citizen of Albanian origin, pleaded guilty...

resident Joe Biden’s December visit to Tinseltown for a campaign fundraiser caused such a hullaballoo even aliens may have wanted to see what all the fuss was about! Planespotters caught a UFO on camera hovering above Air Force 1 in Los Angeles during Biden's December 10 trip, DailyMail.com can reveal. The spherical white or silver object was filmed several times over LAX airport and spotted by multiple witnesses.

It was like a scene in downtown Tehran orchestrated by Iran's ruling mullahs, one of those "spontaneous" protests in Ramallah on the West Bank, or from 1938 Germany as the Nazis whipped up antisemitic hate in preparation for Kristallnacht — and worse. But it was modern-day Los Angeles on Friday night, the second night of Hanukkah, when a mob marched through a largely Jewish neighborhood chanting death threats to Jews. According to StopAntisemitism, the mob also defaced several buildings, including synagogues. Here's a short clip of the mob in action. CLICK ABOVE ARTICLE LINK FOR THE VIDEO People who still...

Former President Donald Trump hosted a $100,000-a-plate fundraiser for disgraced former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club Thursday night as Giuliani struggles to pay his mounting legal bills. Giuliani, a longtime Trump ally who also served as his lawyer, is facing a barrage of legal fees, fines, sanctions and damages related to his work helping Trump try to overturn the 2020 election and other cases. He was indicted last month along with Trump and 17 others in Georgia for what Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has described as a wide-ranging conspiracy to subvert...

Vice President Kamala Harris greeted supporters on Martha’s Vineyard Saturday on behalf of the Biden-Harris campaign. Her arrival at the idyllic, high-priced Massachusetts resort was touted as a "grassroots reception." However, access to the VP, on an island in which 75% of voters pulled a lever for the Democrat ticket in 2020, cost as much as $10,000. "I guarantee you not one working-class Democrat (was) invited to the Kamala event," long-time Martha’s Vineyard homeowner, high-profile attorney and longtime Democrat supporter Alan Dershowitz told Fox News Digital. The big-ticket appearance underscored growing concerns, according to many long-time island residents, on an...

Nice Guys, Prime 239 to hold fundraisers for local craft cocktail genius who died suddenly (Only link can be posted, per FR rules.)

Less than two months after he pleaded guilty to storming the U.S. Capitol, Texas resident Daniel Goodwyn appeared on Tucker Carlson’s then-Fox News show and promoted a website where supporters could donate money to Goodwyn and other rioters whom the site called “political prisoners.” The Justice Department now wants Goodwyn to give up more than $25,000 he raised — a clawback that is part of a growing effort by the government to prevent rioters from being able to personally profit from participating in the attack that shook the foundations of American democracy. An Associated Press review of court records shows...

We’ve already gotten our “OOF” moment of the day and it took place at a House hearing when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene responded to Rep.
